Stem Cell Transplant Recipients - Rabbit Antibodies Help Leukemia Patients
Jul 11, 2012
A recent study performed by researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University found that the use of rabbit antibodies can improve the survival and relapse outcomes of leukemia and myelodysplasia patients receiving a stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor. During the study, led by Amir Toor, M.D... Read More

Colon Cancer Cells Use "Let Me Pass" Signals
Jul 11, 2012
In what reads like a chilling tale of skulduggery and subterfuge, researchers writing online in the journal Cancer Cell this week, describe how colon cancer tumor cells send "let me pass" signals to make blood vessel walls permeable, thus allowing them to travel through and establish themselves in neighbouring tissue (extravasation)...

Immune Cell DNA Utilized For Diagnostic Technique
Jul 11, 2012
When a person is sick, there is a tell-tale sign in their blood: a different mix of the various types of immune cells called leukocytes... Read More
Treatment Of Tumors Based On Differentiation Therapies, A Novel Strategy For The Treatment Of An Aggressive Type Of Skin Cancer
Jul 11, 2012
Skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a subtype of very aggressive skin cancers that usually develops in sunexposed body regions, but can also affect a large number of organs such as the bladder, esophagus, lungs etc... Read More
New Target Found Deep Within Cancer Cells
Jul 11, 2012
Investigators reporting in the July issue of the Cell Press journal Cancer Cell have found that blocking a fundamental process deep within cancer cells can selectively kill them and spare normal cells. For more than a century, clinicians have known that abnormalities of the nucleolus - a small, rounded mass within the cell nucleus - can be diagnostic for cancer... Read More
New Molecular Insights Lead To Improved Treatment For Brain Cancer
Jul 11, 2012
Nearly a third of adults with the most common type of brain cancer develop recurrent, invasive tumors after being treated with a drug called bevacizumab. The molecular underpinnings behind these detrimental effects have now been published by Cell Press in the July issue of Cancer Cell... Read More
Potential New Drug Target For Breast Cancer Following Discovery Of Regulation By Proteins Outside Cancer Cells
Jul 11, 2012
Protein interactions outside breast cancer cells can send signals to the cancer cells to permanently stop proliferating, a new study showed in the School of Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio. "Because this protein cascade is outside the cells, it is likely amenable to therapeutic manipulation," said lead author Yuzuru Shiio, M.D., Ph.D... Read More
New MRI Technique To Help Heart Disease Patients
Jul 10, 2012
Researchers at Edinburgh University, a British Heart Foundation (BHF) Centre of Research Excellence, have developed a new technique that is able to track cells in the bloodstream, according to a study published in the journal Circulation. The technique could be used in the future to measure the effectiveness of stem cell treatments to repair damaged heart tissue, say the researchers... Read More
